    Five-time champion Venus Williams was eliminated in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon Tuesday, losing 6-2, 6-3 to 82nd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova.

    The second-seeded Williams, who had reached the Wimbledon final in eight of the past 10 years, was undone by a slew of unforced errors and double faults in the biggest upset of the women's tournament.

    In another surprise, 21st-seeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia rallied to beat two-time U.S. Open winner Kim Clijsters 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 to reach her first Wimbledon semifinal.
